i'll this column on telephoning between
this country and Europe: "Telephoning

surface of the water, and as the water at
that depth is at rest. The small steel

years under water is a perfect reproducer,

Mrs. Frank Leslie arrived here recently
after months stay in London, and is
costly installed at the Continental hotel.
II like to see newspaper men," she be-
gan with cordial smile, "they have al
ways been so good to me. Some one
told me once that | was power in the
New York press, but replied: No, I'm

very much better Let me tell you one

it. Then this contradiction is duly
printed all over the country with various
comments, and really before the thing is
finished l am so mixed up that hardly
know myself whether am married or
not.
How would you compare the French
and American women i'll the matter of
dress?''
II think that ne French ladies dress
much more quietly in the street than we
do, and perhaps in better TASTE but at re-
ceptions, balls, etc., there is very little diff
ference. You know we resemble the
French much more than we do the Eng
ligh. However, even the English women
are learning to dress themselves more
tastefully, at least in the evening. They
are beginning to make their artificial
adornment more worthy of that which
nature has given them so bountifully.-

Aerolites are interesting TO the average
mind as well as to the student, but so far
they have not been very instructive.
They are so scorched we can hardly learn
anything of them. If they stabbed off
some passing planet or are fragments of
some exploded world, it is strange they
are all 80 much alike in character and
composition. Why do we not have other
samples Of the unknown worlds. as. for
instance, the human body. or something
fashioned by the hands of the inhabitants
Of such realms? We are anxious to learn
something of the other globes, but tossing
two ton rocks at us is a slow way to be-
come acquainted or sociable. Baltimore

Pure Air Mt Night.

The season of the year is approaching
in which doors and windows are usually
closed and the matter of pure air be-
comes one of serious importance. During
the day, the air of living rooms is pretty
certain TO he changed more or less by the
frequent opening of outside doors. During
the night. however, not infrequently all
outside openings are tightly closed, and
the occupants of sleeping rooms might as
well place themselves for the eight or
ten sleeping hours of night in an air
tight box.
In the morning, persons who thus de-
prive themselves of life giving oxygen,
the great necessity of life, awake unre-
freshed and dispirited, languid pale and
weak, with headache, giddiness, no
appetite and many other symptoms of
foul air poisoning, to which the system
has been subjected. This accounts for a
very large part of the colds and physical
wretchelness, of which a good many
complain and which is ordinarily ascribed
to the change of season. The system is
filled with impurities as a result of de-
ficient oXygenation of the blood, and so
the body becomes, in a high degree, sus-
ceptible to all causes of vital disturbance
The reception of few fever germs is all
sufficient to bring on a violent illness, by
setting fire to the fever breeding material
with which the tissues are filed. as the
result of deficient air cleansing.

Nothing could more completely reveal
to us the whole of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's
art than the following prose sketch of a
poem which was never written: THE
Philter. A woman intensely enamored
of man who does not love her, makes
use of philter to secure his love. In
this she succeeds; but it also acts gradu-
ally upon his life. She attempts TO avert
this by destroying the whole effect of the
philter, but finds this is not permitted
her; and he dies in her arms, deeply low
ing her and deeply loved by her, while
she is conscious of being the cause of his
death. As he yields his last breath in a
kiss, she knows that his spirit now hates
her. THE Argonaut.

Genuine AntiQue Oak.

In boring a well on a farm some five
miles south of Colusa, Cal, Mr. Frazier,
who has the farm rented, struck a piece
of wood at depth of 10 feet. The
wood brought up by the augur was in
an excellent state of preservation, and
was pronounced 'all oak. This place
is only fifty feet above the sea level, SO
that the wood is 100 feet below the
oceans surface. If it was sunk there
when this valley was lake or an arm of
the bay, it was in pretty deep water.
How long since this piece of wood was in
a growing tree? The valley of course
has grown, but without some CONFUSION
of nature the growth has been slow, not,
perhaps, over one foot per century. Then
has it been 1000 years since this oak tree
grew?-Colusa Sun.

Hints to Amateur Photographers.

An important fact to be remembered
in making portraits at close quarters is
that the professional photographer uses
for portraits special portrait lens, but
the amateur generally does this work
with lens made for taking views. These
view lenses condense very much-that is,
they exaggerate the perspective by taking
in so wide a field.
Sometimes in taking simple profile,
if the head is placed too near the camera
the visible ear of the sitter, not having
chance to get so far off as the nose
which has, let us say, two and half
inches of an advantages given an
alarming size. Then, in full face view,
the poor nose has the worst of it. On
this account "three-quarter" view is
the best for an amateur working with
view camera; though if fair distance is
allowed between the sitter and the lens
there need be no difficulty of either sort.
Do not hesitate to make experiments.
Many of the advances in photography
have resulted from the seeming blunders
of amateurs. To those who at college or
at home are engaged in scientific studies
the camera will afford means of inter-
| esting experiment. The camera has been
one OF the greatest teachers of this CEN
fury. 1t has. for instance, taught Meis-
sonier, the great French painter, that the
horses in his 1897 are not galloping as
horses actually do gallop. 1t has taught
the scientist who photographed flying
bullet that the reason the best Of marks
men cannot hit suspended egg shell is
that cushion of compressed air precedes
the bullet and pushes the shell out of the
way. And in thousand other ways it
has been confirming or upsetting scientific
and artistic theories. Let the amateur
therefore pursue his investigations freely
in this field OF experiment, and see what
discoveries he may make therein. st.

The Ugly Heidegger.

Heidegger' ugliness was declared i'm
possible to surpass. One of the courtiers
of George II wagered that he would pro-
duce some one who should he pronounced
uglier than Heidegger. He was allowed
few days in which to unearth his cham
pion, and it is said that he employed
them in personally ransacking the worst
slums in London. Somewhere in st.
Giles he found an old woman whom he
thought sufficiently plain to confront
with Heidegger. When the two were
put face to face the judges said that it
was impossible to decide which of them
was entitled to bear the proud title of
''lgliest being in London. A courtier,
however. suggested that Heidegger should
put on the old woman's bonnet. This
he did, and the additional ugliness it
gave him was such that he was unani-
mously declared the winner. Chambers

INSPECTION at West Point.

Suddenly the drum again taps sharply.
The gray and white hocks in each COM
pany street resolve themselves into two
long parallel files, elbow to elbow, that
face suddenly outward from the center
of the camp at the last tap; the glisten-
ing rifles spring up to support arms,
and each first sergeant calls off his roll
as though the last thing he were thinking
of was the answering "here;'' one after
another the white gloved hands snap the
pieces down to the carry" and 'order"
as each man answers to his name; the
sergeant faces his captain with soldierly
salute and takes his post the captain
whips out his shining sword; the lieuten-
ants step to their posts-and then begins
the sharp inspection. Man after man is
passed under the scrutinizing eye of the
young officer. A speck of rust about
the rifle. a dingy belt plate, soiled or
rumpled collar, tear in the glove, a
spot on the trousers. dust on the shoes,
a single button missing or unfastened-

but sneers of contempt until Englishmen
were won over to the equities of the
Irish demands, land finally, when Gladstone
declared that England could no longer, in
the light of civilization and humanity,
turn deaf ear to those demands, then
the Irish cause was virtually won, for
despite the talk to-day about the CO.
ercion bill, and that Gladstone is tempo
rarily out of power, nobody doubts that
eventually Ireland will carry her point.
Is it not probable then that similar re-
suits will be witnessed in Spain, and for
CubaG The movement will be slower
there than in England, for the Spaniards
are not as far advanced in governmental
civilization as the English, but the leaven
is at work, and the student of human
